Happy over eating day!!!

this holiday like so many leaves me puzzled. can you imagine a conversation like this:

Alien: So tell me about this Thanksgiving
Me: Well, it is a holiday that celebrates the fall harvest and how the Indians (Native Americans) helped the white people survive.
A: So how do you celebrate?
M: first you get in your gas guzzling SUV or hop on a plane and go visit your family. Then you cook a 25 lb turkey (plus an extra one for left overs) along with mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, green bean casserole, rolls, salad, 4 kinds of pie and then you eat until you are uncomfortable and then you eat some more.
A: so it is a holiday about food?
M: no it is a holiday about thankfulness.
A: But didn't the white people decimate the Native Americans?
M: Yes but we are still grateful that they welcomed us as we spread violence, disease and guns across their lands.
A: so the way you express your thankfulness for your blessings and bounty is to stuff yourself silly and then sit around while millions of people world wide would give anything for just a bite off your table of pleanty
M:basically, yeah. Oh and don't forget the football. Or Black Friday.

UPDATE

A new picture of our dog was posted today. here she is:

PC1

this is our dog. she will offically join our family around christmas. we haven't offically come up with a name for her, but we have a few good potentials.

AZ

Back from AZ. We had a very good time... Bill and I were both pooped after the trip though. We didn't have a ton of time but we did get to a fun wine bar, toured Taliesin West, toured the boulders area, looked at some homes, had a nice family dinner and met mom's new friends.

We did take some shots of FLW's home and grounds. maybe Bill will get them uploaded soon.

so turkey day is fast approaching. we have presents to buy and wrap. packing to do and are car to tune up. Kermit is visiting on Sunday (yea) and at some point we have a ton of house work to do.

The Christmas season is almost here. I can't wait for lights and garland and ornaments. And maybe a cute little welsh corgi.

CA

or captian awsome. I have given a few new tv shows a try (of course with the writers stike they might all fail) but I think I have found some to dvr and keep me amused.

Mondays:
Chuck It's such a cute show for the geek in all of us. And two of my favorite charachters are Captain Awsome and Agent Casey. If you are looking for a cute dramady this might be a show for you.
Journeyman nowhere near quantum leap or sliders this show could have potential so for right now it stays on the season pass
Tuesdays:
Reaper Not bad and I like the actors. I know i swore off WB/CW but this show has a funny story line and Ray Wise as the devil makes me tune in every week.
Wednesdays:
Pushing Daisies Such an over-the-top cutely morbid show that i really and transfixed by it. Kristen Chenoweth and Chi McBride ofent steal the show what with the singing and knitting.
Dirty Sexy Money Mr Sutherland is a great asset to this amusing life styles of the rich and famous show

So these are the additions I have made. If you have other suggestions of shows to try let me know. otherwise I usually just tune into HBO (saw North Country this week) Food Network(Good Eats and the bastardized Iron Chef) and 95% of all HGTV programs

off to AZ

going to AZ this weekend be back with pics!
